Ingredients

• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for vanilla tuiles)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for chocolate tuiles)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
3. Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
4. Sift the flour into the egg white mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula.
5. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract (for vanilla tuiles) or cocoa powder (for chocolate tuiles). Mix well until fully incorporated.
6. Spoon small amounts of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space in between for spreading.
7. Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter into thin and even rounds or create decorative shapes by spreading the batter with a piping bag.
8. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the edges of the tuiles turn golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and quickly lift the tuiles off the baking sheet using a thin spatula or knife.
10. Place the tuiles over a rolling pin or a narrow bottle to create a curved shape. Leave them to cool and harden.
11. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
12. Once completely cooled, store the tuiles in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
